Abstract (en)

Provided is a motorcycle tire, that provides excellent steering stability while using steel cords as a belt layer material, which comprises a carcass extending from a tread portion to a bead core of a bead portion via a sidewall portion, and a belt layer arranged outside the carcass and inside the tread portion in the tire radial direction, wherein the belt layer is a steel belt layer having steel cords; the steel cord is a steel cord having an m × n configuration in which n strands, formed by twisting m steel filaments, are twisted together in the same direction as the steel filaments, and the m is 1 or more and 3 or less and n is 2 or more and 6 or less; the diameter of the steel filament is 0.15 mm or more and 0.25 mm or less; the rubber composition forming the tread portion is a rubber composition having a complex elastic modulus E* (MPa) of 5.0 MPa or more; and the product (S × E*) of the total cross-sectional area S(mm<sup>2</sup>) of the steel filaments in the cross section of the steel cord and the complex elastic modulus E* (MPa) is 2.00 or less.
